Nothing shocks me after seeing the video of a deer eating a sparrow and reading a non fiction book where a fox steals sugar beets from a farmer because it got addicted to sugar. It’s nature. Rules are made to be broken in nature. That all I know.
I just had a vision of a deer sitting at a table in a French bistro, about to take a bite out of a sparrow impaled on a fork in one hoof and a Haynes manual for a Triumph Stag in the other. Made me laugh.
I think that the commenter, like me, understood it as that the deer was reading a non-fiction book while eating a sparrow. Which is an interesting image
Commas basically go where you want to separate two thoughts in a sentence or “take a breath” without the full stop of a period. They also often separate objects in lists
(Example)
(“Yesterday I saw a deer, a sparrow, and a nonfiction book.”)
:::, or signify that you’re talking to somebody.
A classic joke:
“Let’s eat grandma!” vs.
“Let’s eat, grandma!”
“Commas save lives!”
😂 Hope that helps a bit! You’re doing great though, don’t worry. :)

I liked it more when I thought the sentence stopped here.
Lol. Why is the deer eating a sparrow less disturbing than a fox getting addicted to sugar beets? XD

Stop bullying me for my shitty English skills 😆
Your shitty English is infinitely better than my (I’m guessing) shitty Danish.
You are guessing correctly. And tbf, Danish is barely a language. Anyone who attempts to learn Danish is a war hero.
We do make funny comedies, even though foreigners seem to be disturbed by our sense of humor.
Our humor is much like our language: ugly, brutal and thriving in the destruction of rules that are supposed to be upheld in polite society.

Oh! Sorry. I don’t know how to place English commas, lol.
You nailed it here! :)

At the very least, the only thing that got eaten was a bird. Sadly, deer are still illiterate 😢
Thanks for the comma-assistance, btw. 🤗
LOL! 😂
Sure thing! 🤗
language is mostly what we make of it anyways :-)
Yeah, I see how I screwed up in my wording. :')
The deer thing super reminds me of The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion by Margaret Killjoy.
Haven’t heard of that book, but I’ll check it out.
In the meantime, the video in question for those of you who are curious.
It was just like gulp! like it was a Tom & Jerry episode!
It’s so fun! Short synopsis: anarcho squatter punks deal with ancient deer god.
That does indeed sound like a ton of fun. It goes on my tbr list. Thank you for the recommendation!
